Any electronic system that uses a computer chip, but that is not a general-purpose workstation, desktop or laptop computer. Such systems use microcontrollers (MCUs) or microprocessors (MPUs), or ...

Microcontroller or Microprocessor: Making the Right Choice Microprocessors have a single processing core (CPU), typically powerful enough to handle complex applications involving lots of memory ...

For example, embedded systems that use Linux find it easier to leverage open-source software and find developers who can write the system software. However, Linux-based systems have more complex ...

Instead, they take the form of microcontrollers with a processor, memory, and peripherals all within a single chip. Microcontrollers are then embedded into circuit boards alongside sensors, batteries, ...

Controllers that once handled large mechanical systems now work inside smaller digital and mechanical devices. These microcontrollers are not the same as embedded computer processors, however.

Instead, they take the form of microcontrollers with a processor, memory, and peripherals all within a single chip. Microcontrollers are then embedded into circuit boards alongside sensors, batteries, ...
